From Fashion Weeks around the globe to the Primetime Emmys, you can count on the stars to pull out their best sartorial selections this month. So who landed a fashion hit and whose looks missed the mark? Wonderwall.com is rounding up all of the major moments, starting with our first miss of the month, which comes from Blake Lively. Too many layers! We know fall is here, but we couldn't get behind Blake's layered-up Dior look at the brand's Paris Fashion Week show on Sept. 24. With a structured, check-patterned skirt over top a layer of tulle and an intricately patterned jacket all underneath a gray trench, all of the couture got lost in there. Keep reading to see even more terrible and terrific September fashion!

We adored Zendaya's Michael Kors look at the "Smallfoot" premiere in Los Angeles on Sept. 22. The star sported this sweet pink-and-orange patterned minidress with a ruffled neckline and a neon belt detail, which she expertly paired with stark white heels.

Mariah Carey put the mini in minidress with this sparkly confection. We weren't fans of this fitted, bedazzled dress, which she inexplicably paired with fishnet tights and peep-toe heels at the iHeart Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 21.

Thandie Newton went hot pink at the 2018 Emmys on Sept. 17 in this Brandon Maxwell number. The gorgeous dress featured an asymmetrical neckline and a glamorous train detail that draped off the shoulder. The star expertly paired the bright shade with a pair of silver strappy heels and some amazing dangling diamond earrings.
Oh, Alison Brie. The star delivered another miss this month, this time in Miu Miu at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards Italia in Milan on Sept. 23. Her shiny frock, which started in off white and culminated in a lime green skirt, wasn't all that bad, but we couldn't get past all of the wrinkles in that skirt! Couture deserves better!
Here's a new combo — a pantsuit and a crop top! While tons of stars have been sporting the pantsuit look, Emily Ratajkowski put her own spin on it at an event in Chicago on Sept. 5, rocking a white crop top underneath. She finished things off with a tiny Louis Vuitton bag and nude heels for a majorly cool look.
Megan Mullally wore this unfortunate tulip-adorned frock to the Emmys on Sept. 17. From the sheer sleeves to the button detailing to the massive floral designs, there were a lot of things wrong with this getup — though we did appreciate her perfectly matching clutch.
Another pantsuit plus crop top! We also loved Lili Reinhart's take on this new trend at the "Galveston" premiere in Los Angeles on Sept. 23. Lili's included a silk off-white suit with a stark white cropped T-shirt underneath.
Alexis Bledel had one of our least favorite looks at the 2018 Emmys on Sept. 17. Her strapless pink Delpozo gown started out strong but featured a dash of neon in the form of a randomly placed tulle panel that disappointed us. We also weren't fans of the bizarre feather-like embellishments and how she finished things off with those black heels.
Kate Beckinsale looked lovely in this off-the-shoulder dress by Solace London at an event in Los Angeles on Sept. 20. The star showed off her fabulous figure in the fitted white gown, which she paired with a pair of metallic heeled sandals. We loved the way she finished things off with simple makeup, an updo and those dangly earrings.
We're used to Penelope Cruz impressing us in the style department, but we hated this Ralph & Russo number. The blue silk number seemed ill-fitting with its odd draping and lackluster train detail, and the silver heels certainly didn't help matters.
Animal print and bold baby blue? On paper, it doesn't seem like it would work, but Victoria Beckham proved otherwise while leaving her store in London on Sept. 18. The fashion designer donned this loud leopard-print dress with a bright blue clutch and matching blue pointed-toe heels for an unexpected pop of color that elevated the whole outfit!
Eek! Tinsley Mortimer attended the Ten Years with the Real Housewives of NYC event in New York City on Sept. 23 in this mess of a dress. With four different fabrics, a high neck, puffy sleeves and an asymmetrical hemline, we were left to wonder: What is there to love?
Sarah Paulson had a major black moment on the Emmys red carpet on Sept 17. The star went with the classic, ultra-glamorous hue on television's biggest night in a gorgeous Oscar de la Renta design with an interesting neckline and full feathered skirt.
A black dress that didn't fare as well on the Emmys carpet on Sept. 17? Kristin Cavallari's! The reality TV star sported a mullet-like dress on television's big night — a one-shouldered, shiny black high-low gown. Adding insult to injury? That bizarre bouffant hairstyle.
Too pretty in purple! Julianne Moore attended the Green Carpet Fashion Awards Italia in Milan on Sept. 23 in this stunning halter-style gown by Salvatore Ferragamo. We loved the gown's soft pleating and the way we got a peek at her matching purple sandals underneath.
A blue velvet pantsuit? Ordinarily, we'd say sign us up — but the embellishments on Suki Waterhouse's royal blue velvet suit at the "Assassination Nation" premiere in New York City on Sept. 17 lost us. The Dilara Findikoglu ensemble started out amazing but all of the chunky gold detailing ruined things on our end. Making things worse? The odd gray peep-toe shoe choice.
Stella Maxwell arrived at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards Italia in Milan on Sept. 23 in this amazing jumpsuit. The strapless white leather one-piece by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini featured a sweetheart neckline, a belted waist and silver sequined detailing. We loved the way the model rocked a wispy updo and those killer black pumps with this look.
Yikes. Justin Timberlake makes the miss list with this disastrous ensemble he wore to the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 22. The former boybander donned an unfortunate sparkly bomber jacket over a graphic T-shirt, funky black pants with zippered detailing and stark white sneakers.
We loved the sweet sleeveless red-and-white frock Taraji P. Henson wore to her Taraji's Boutique of Hope launch party in Los Angeles on Sept. 22. The piping on the dress matched her strappy white heels to perfection!
Oh, Nicolas Cage. The actor was spotted at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Sept. 18 in a graphic tee, leather pants and animal-print leather jacket — an ensemble that looks far from travel-friendly.
Liev Schreiber looked dapper at the "Ray Donovan" premiere in New York City on Sept. 23. The actor donned this rich navy blue velvet suit with a matching navy shirt underneath and brown dress shoes for a refreshing take on red carpet menswear.
She can't win them all! While attending the Marc Jacobs show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 12, Emily Ratajkowski donned this bizarre getup comprised of a bandeau top with a massive floral detail (complete with its own train!) atop drop-waist trousers and strappy heels. Though this look almost proved the model could pull off anything, it has to be in the miss pile this month.
Alessandra Ambrosio made the case for blush tones at the Giorgio Armani fashion show in Milan on Sept. 23. The model sported a tank top and trousers in pretty pale shades and accessorized with an unexpected hue — gray. We're surprised how well this color combo works, but we expect nothing less from both Armani and the beauty.
The Bella twins brought Christmas to the red carpet early this year! While attending the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 22 they stepped out in these bright green and red frocks. Though we loved the nod to the holiday season, we weren't fans of the shiny dresses themselves. From the satiny green to the red leather, these dresses were instant misses.
We loved the red Maria Lucia Hohan frock that Lauren Conrad wore to an event in Los Angeles on Sept. 20. From the spaghetti straps to the fun off-the-shoulder ruffles to the frilled skirt, the gorgeous gown was complemented perfectly by her light strappy heels.
Nichole Scherzinger attended the Imagine Ball in Los Angeles on Sept. 23 in this odd getup. Though it started out fine with its high-neck and black lace bodice, one pant leg featured a lengthy, dramatic frilled edge that threw off the whole look for us.
We loved the whimsical ensemble that Nicky Hilton Rothschild wore to the Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet presentation during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 11. The stylish star sported these shimmering rainbow coordinates, pairing a silky black top underneath and completing things with a pair of classic black heels.
Former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice wore this hideous sheer and fringed mess at the Harper's Bazaar Icons event in New York City on Sept. 7. The Paolo Sebastian gown left nothing to the imagination with its sparsely applied detailing over sheer fabric and even more horrible haphazardly placed patches of fringe.
Lady Gaga has been killing it in the fashion department when it comes to her "A Star is Born" press tour style. Her most recent major moment? The premiere of the film at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept 9. Her all-black tulle and velvet Giorgio Armani look was worthy of a true movie star, even with the odd matching hat selection.
Well, at least she's consistent! Chloe Grace Moretz served up her monthly fashion miss at the Toronto Film Festival at the "Greta" premiere on Sept. 6. The star selected this disastrous Erdem dress for the occasion — comprised of, yes, polka-dotted sheer sleeves, a bizarre neck-bow detail and hot pink embellished velvet. We implore you to fire your stylist, Chloe!
We love a Julia Roberts red carpet moment! The movie star stunned in a Dsquared2 sleek black number, complete with structured sleeves and tiny cut-outs at the waist. Her peep-toe pumps peeking out from underneath cemented this look as a hit at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of "Ben is Back" on Sept. 8.
Oh, Paris Hilton. The star has been a staple on our miss lists lately, and September is no exception. She arrived at the Harper's Bazaar Icons event on Sept. 7 in this hideous Pamella Roland gown made up of pink, purple, silver and black tulle with black floral appliques down the bodice. Next!
At least this Hilton didn't let us down in September! Nicky Hilton Rothschild attended the Carolina Herrera show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 10 in a winning color combination — purple and yellow! The cheery yellow frock included lilac straps and a lilac belt detail and her nude pumps complemented the look perfectly.
Also proving purple and yellow are an underrated combo? Zendaya! The star stunned in this slinky silk Ralph & Russo number in bold purple and marigold while arriving at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London on Sept. 5. We loved the gown's beaded bodice, slit and cascading black bow on the left side (which corresponded perfectly to Zendaya's killer black heels).
We usually love Christie Brinkley's youthful fashion moments, but we're not into this one. The model donned this sparkly mini with a questionable white jacket thrown over top at the Harper's Bazaar Icons event in New York City on Sept. 7 and paired the look with equally unfortunate white heels. And no, that's not an oddly shaped clutch — it's a wine bottle. We've got a lot of questions about this one, Christie…
White after Labor Day? Our first offender is Amber Valletta… but we're going to let it slide! That suit-jacket-style dress is just too good to be a miss! Fashion rules aside, the stark white paired perfectly with her black strappy sandals and clutch for an amazing black-and-white moment at the Escada show on Sept. 9.
Emily Ratajkowski makes the miss list this month… but mainly for her odd accessory! The star wore this pale sweater dress with rolled-up sleeves paired with boots in a similar color, but it was her purse that threw us off. Is it a fanny pack? A fashionable fanny pack? Her bag was hanging off of a belt in what we hope isn't a new trend.
We love a man who takes fashion risks! Timothée Chalamet didn't just rock a boring suit at the premiere of "Beautiful Boy" at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 7. Nope, the star opted for this subtly striped and printed number by Haider Ackermann and added a black T-shirt underneath with equally stylish shoes. And this isn't even his best fashion moment of the month!
Bella Hadid can pull off almost anything, but this bizarre coordinate set from Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood… not even the supermodel can make it work. The cropped baggy jacket and even baggier pants made for a messy and unfortunate look at the BoF500 Gala Dinner in New York City on Sept. 9. Adding insult to injury? The odd fingerless gloves she accessorized with.
Tiffany Haddish brought a pop of color to the Jimmy Choo show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 8. We obsessed over the gorgeous fiery red hue of her short-sleeved fitted dress. The red heels sealed the deal — this one's a hit!
White swan? We could barely find Christina Aguilera underneath all those feathers at the Harper's Bazaar Icons event in New York City on Sept. 7. For that reason, this bizarre bird-like look by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood is a miss.
A golden Gucci moment! Natalie Portman attended the "Vox Lux" premiere during the Venice Film Festival on Sept. 5 in this stunning frock by Gucci. The glittering golden long-sleeved number featured silver embellishments at the neckline and sleeves and an impossibly glam black velvet bow detail at the waist.
Ballerina gone wrong! Chloe Sevigny attended the Venice Film Festival premiere of "Last Year at Marienbad" on Sept. 5 in this horrendous Chanel number. The pale pink frock featured way too much fringe — from the sleeves to the full skirt — and didn't pair well with her messy bun. We do give her props for those amazing braided shoes though!
Blake's back! After some unfortunate fashion moments in August, Blake Lively returned to our fashion favorites list with this look at the Ralph Lauren dinner during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 7. The tuxedo-turned-feminine vibe worked perfectly on the star, who even carried a top hat to complete the look.
Gigi Hadid rarely makes a fashion misstep, but we couldn't get behind this shiny tracksuit! The supermodel rocked the Ralph Lauren creation at the Brandon Maxwell show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 8. Even those trendy sneakers couldn't transform this one into a fashion hit.
Cardi B had one of her best fashion moments to date at the Tom Ford show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 5. Decked out in the designer, we loved Cardi's mature, all-black ensemble. And we especially loved the way she still kept it Cardi with her bright, funky eyeshadow.
We adore Reba McEntire, but we've got to call this one a miss. The country icon attended an event in Verona, Italy, in this unfortunate combo — a silver sleeveless dress with stark white cowboy boots — on Sept. 8.
"Crazy Rich Asians" star Gemma Chan is quickly becoming our new style icon. She rocked this Jason Wu combo — a deep purple pleated crop top with a rich red embellished skirt with a center slit — at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London on Sept. 5. We loved the slight mismatching of the colors and how the separates unexpectedly worked together, as well as the way she finished things off with pointy-toe silver pumps.
Yikes! Charlie Puth looked a mess at the Jimmy Choo dinner during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 8. The singer sported a white shirt underneath an oversized, unbuttoned black button-up. To make things worse, he added a pair of pinstriped pants and red sneakers. What were you thinking, Charlie?
Issa Rae selected this fabulous floral frock for the premiere of "The Hate U Give" at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 7. We loved the long-sleeved, full-skirted gown's floral print and the way the red belt tied things together on the red carpet.
Sienna Miller was one of our '00s style icons so this look at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 9 is a major letdown. Her halter-style black dress included an odd corset detail at the waist and a dramatic full skirt. We were hoping for more from the star at the premiere of her flick, "American Woman."
Black and navy don't always work together, but Sarah Jessica Parker pulled them off with this gorgeous sparkling Prabal Gurung gown at the "Here And Now" premiere at the Deauville American Film Festival on Sept. 6. We appreciated the way that she went for an unexpected silver shoe instead of matching to the black. Carrie Bradshaw would be proud!
Sheer, beading and fringe? Oh my! Though Shay Mitchell looked gorgeous at the Harper's Bazaar Icons event on Sept. 7, her Julien Macdonald gown was just too much for us. From the plunging neckline to the alternating sheer and beaded and fringed fabric, this dress was attempting to do way too many things at once.
Jessica Chastain brought a ray of sunshine to the Ralph Lauren show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 7. The movie star rocked a red lip and this lovely bright yellow strapless frock with a gorgeous full tulle skirt by the brand. And though it doesn't seem like it would work, we actually loved the way she paired it with metallic peep-toe pumps.
Elizabeth Olsen's blue minidress at the Kate Spade New York show on Sept. 7 was a little too matronly for our taste. The star's puffy, three-quarter-length sleeves seemed to channel the '80s, while her chunky heels and big clutch didn't help matters.
Ready to race? Kylie Jenner attended the launch of her Adidas Originals x Kylie Jenner line in Los Angeles on Sept. 6 in this black-and-white checkerboard dress and we were surprisingly into it! From the funky zippered detailing to the safety-pin embellishments to the way she added sneakers, this edgy look was a hit.
What do you get when you mix a bathing suit, a bright yellow Off-White suit jacket and a pair of thigh-high boots? A fashion miss! We hated Nicki Minaj's getup at the E! Entertainment, ELLE and IMG Kick-Off Party during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 5.
Kate Bosworth attended the Escada show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 9 in this darling black-and-white polka-dotted number. We loved the ruffled sweetheart neckline and the way she paired it with those pointy-toe pumps.
What's going on below the neck? Gabrielle Union attended the premiere of "The Public" during the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 8 in this confusing Valentino getup. The dress, which was fine from the waist down, featured a bizarre printed high-neck cape-like design above the waist. The strange silhouette means this is a miss in our book.
Rowan Blanchard looked like a dream at the Tiffany & Co. Save the Wild dinner in New York City on Sept. 8. The star sported this sleek black pantsuit, complete with silky lapels, and added a red lip and slicked-back hairdo for ultimate glam.
We know this is an edgy Prada look, but Sofia Carson's Prada Linea Rossa relaunch event outfit was one of our least favorite of the month. From the massively oversized hot pink, short-sleeved jacket to the high socks and sneakers, we're not sure which element we liked the least.
KJ Apa got an A+ for his monochromatic look at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 7. The "Riverdale" star sported everything in a rich creamy shade — from his turtleneck to his Victor Li suit and his similarly colored dress shoes.
Sorry for giving hate to this look, but Amandla Stenberg scored a miss in Gucci at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of her flick "The Hate U Give" on Sept. 7. Though this dress certainly made an impression with its massive sleeves and tiered, all-over floral fabric, we're not sure it was the right one. We did love her silver headpiece though, and the way it corresponded with the gown's silver bustier.
Does Elle Fanning ever disappoint us with her sartorial selections? The stylish star attended an event on Sept. 8 during the Toronto Film Festival in this gorgeous cream and tan number complete with long sleeves and a funky collared neckline and complemented the amazing pleated dress with a pair of amazing off-white pointy-toe boots.
Oh, Geena Davis, where do we start? The star attended the premiere of "This Changes Everything" at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 8 in an unfortunate striped frock with an inexplicable giant red mismatched bow at the waist. Making matters worse? The mismatched dark purple lace-up boots she finished her look with. Eek!
Call us crazy, but we kind of loved Suki Waterhouse's Harper's Bazaar Icons event getup at New York Fashion Week on Sept. 7 — a two-toned Marni dress comprised of a red-and-blue patterned fabric on one half and a pink-and-black fabric on the other. Though the shades are known to clash, somehow this edgy look totally worked. Helping matters? Those amazing hot pink pumps.
More white after Labor Day! Adriana Lima ignored the fashion rules at the Tom Ford show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 5… but we're not sure it was worth it! We didn't love her Tom Ford coordinates, which included a skirt with tie details and a matching jacket. But we did like those funky clear pumps!
A green velvet suit jacket? You can't go wrong! Timothée Chalamet attended the HFPA and InStyle party during the Toronto Film Festival on Sept. 8 in this killer combo by Haider Ackermann. We loved the rich forest green shade of his jacket and the way he kept everything else a stark monochromatic black.
We weren't fans of Naomi Campbell's sloppy look at the Tiffany & Co. Save the Wild dinner in New York City on Sept. 8. The legendary supermodel opted for an unbuttoned and tied printed dress shirt with a pair of ill-fitting silk pants for a messy miss this month.
Darling in Dior! We loved Natalie Portman's dramatic pale pink gown at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of "Vox Lux" on Sept. 8. From the long sleeves to the gorgeous pleated skirt to the tiny, delicate belt detailing, this Dior design is downright dreamy.
Though we loved the shade of Taylor Schilling's Toronto Film Festival look on Sept. 9, all the pleating and ruffling on the Mulberry dress made this look a miss. We also weren't into the dark red-and-brown belt, or the way she matched her shoes to that detail at the premiere of "The Public."
Lily Aldridge rocked her baby bump in this ultra-glamorous black Ralph Lauren creation at the designer's presentation during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 7. We loved the cape detail and the plunging neckline on this sleek silhouette.
Surprise, surprise! It's another horrible sartorial selection by Chloe Grace Moretz. This one went down at the Sept. 1 photocall for "Suspiria" at the Venice Film Festival, where Chloe chose to wear this awful Miu Miu getup — a polo and printed pants with pretty much exactly what we expected from the fashion-challenged star: fur trimmed edges.
Padma Lakshmi looked red-hot at the Creative Arts Emmys in Los Angeles on Sept. 9. We adored her one-shouldered deep red gown, which featured a sweetheart neckline and a thigh-high slit as well as a pretty pleated skirt. Her dark metallic heeled sandals were an unexpected shoe choice but really completed the sultry look.
Julianne Moore gave us early Halloween vibes at the Toronto Film Festival on Sept 7. The star's strapless off-white dress featured so many pleated layers mimicking fringe that it looked more like a glamorous take on a mummy costume than a red carpet getup.
Big Bird, but make it fashion! Nicki Minaj's purple feathered and fringed getup at the The Daily Front Row Fashion Media Awards in New York City on Sept. 6 certainly raised eyebrows… and surprisingly, we didn't hate it! The dramatic Pamella Roland look was perfect for the star, who added purple to her hair to match the frock. Though we could have done without that chunky studded belt…
Heather Graham isn't usually a New York Fashion Week staple, and maybe this is why? The star attended the Tadashi Shoji show on Sept. 6 in this frock. From the oversized long sleeves to the hot pink lace and completely sheer skirt, we just weren't fans of this ill-fitting number.
We didn't realize how much we'd missed a good boho Nicole Richie moment! The star arrived to the "29 Rooms: Expand Your Reality" opening in New York City on Sept. 5 in one of her own line's creations. The House of Harlow long-sleeved brown dress featured an abstract black pattern and a funky multicolored belt that all channeled Nicole's old '00s style that we know and love.
We're so used to Lily Collins wowing us in the fashion department that this look was a disappointment. The usually stylish star attended the Cartier Precious Garage party during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 6 in this snooze-worthy red number. The minidress had a plunging neckline and a weird gathered detail at the skirt — we weren't fans of the frock.
